Sommario/riassunto

The birth of rock 'n roll ignited a firestorm of conroversy - one critic called it "musical riots put to a switchblade beat" - but if it generated much sound and fury, what, if anything, did it signify? As Glenn Altschuler reveals in 'All Shook Up', the rise of rock 'n roll - and the outraged reception to it - in fact can tell us a lot about the values of



the United States in the 1950s, a decade that saw a great struggle for the control of popular culture. Altschuler shows, in particular, how rock's "switchblade beat" opened up wide fissures in American society along the fault-lines of family, sexuality, and race.
